You can rely on it because
It runs inside the matter, reads only what is on the file, and records every step under How this was made.
From the task to the draft.
The IP & Technology Agent reviews assignment, licensing and technology terms in a contract or a filing, and answers questions about ownership, scope of use and infringement risk, citing the primary legislation and any international filing regime that applies.
- 01
Describe the task

Jurisdiction Gatekeeper and PII Redaction screen the task before the agent loads the matching skill.
- 03
Work it against UK/EU IP law
The agent works the issue against UK and EU IP law, checking registry status live through connectors where available.
- 04

Receive a draft: a clearance, a triage, a send-gated cease and desist or takedown, a licence checklist, or redlines, gated by Legal Citation Verifier and Privilege Review.
- 05
A lawyer reviews

A document with its working attached.
Senior Associate Employment Contract: English Law Review
Summary
- 1.
Clause 9(c), non-competeHigh
The 12-month prohibition on working for any law firm anywhere in the UK, Ireland or EU, in any capacity, is almost certainly wider than reasonably necessary and therefore unlikely to be enforceable.
Tillman v Egon Zehnder Ltd [2019] UKSC 32 - 2.
Clause 11, data and monitoringHigh
Blanket contractual consent is not an adequate basis for general employment processing, special-category data or unrestricted monitoring.
UK GDPR, Arts 6 and 9 - 3.
Clause 4, holiday carry-overHigh
The unconditional five-day cap conflicts with mandatory carry-over rights where sickness, statutory leave or employer failure prevents leave being taken.
Working Time Regulations 1998, regs 13 to 13A
Three tasks to start with.
The prompts the agent suggests inside the workspace. Paste your own document under any of them.
Run a first-pass trademark clearance
Run a first-pass UKIPO and EUIPO clearance search for this mark across the relevant Nice classes, and rate the confusion risk:
Triage an infringement question
Map this conduct to the relevant IP right, rate the exposure, and flag the uncertainties in an FTO and infringement triage:
Check an open-source licence position
Review this dependency list for open-source licence obligations, flag any copyleft or permissive incompatibilities, and produce an attribution checklist:
Who it is for, and what it will not do yet.
Best for
- IP and technology teams wanting one agent across clearance, enforcement and compliance.
- Anyone triaging freedom-to-operate or infringement exposure before it escalates.
- Teams needing an open-source obligations and attribution checklist before release.
Not yet
- Cease and desist letters and takedown notices are drafted only: they are send-gated, and a qualified IP lawyer reviews before anything is relied on or sent.
Under the hoodProtocols, gates, skills and sources, for the reader who wants them.
Protocols
- 01Planning ProtocolMaps out the plan before any work starts: which sources answer which part of the task, in what order.
- 02Legal Citation VerifierIndependently re-fetches every cited authority and confirms it exists and reads as quoted before the memo reaches you.
- 03Privilege ReviewAssesses the output for privileged or confidential material and flags disclosure risk before it is circulated.
- 04PII RedactionScreens the task for personal and client data and redacts it before dispatch, with an allow-list so the firm's own name is not stripped from its own memo.
- 05Jurisdiction GatekeeperConfirms the task sits inside a jurisdiction the firm has enabled, and flags anything that strays outside it.

- 01Customer-side redline of a supplier MSAA supplier sends its own paper and asks for signature by Friday. Reviewed from the customer side, the memo names three walk-away clauses and ranks the rest for negotiation.
- 02Clear a brand name before a product launchMeridian Biosciences wants to launch a diagnostics range under a new name and marketing has already booked the campaign. The run assesses the name against the search results supplied and sets out where the real conflicts sit.
- 03Review a software licence from the customer sideAn enterprise licence has been renewed twice without review and the business has since acquired two subsidiaries. The review works out whether those subsidiaries are licensed and what the audit clause would find if the vendor exercised it.
- 04Audit open source licences before a code releaseZennor Robotics is about to ship firmware to customers for the first time and nobody has looked at the open source in it. The grid reads the dependency list and the licence texts, then sorts them by what distribution actually triggers.
- 05Check a source code escrow and continuity planA bank relies on a small supplier for a settlement component and has an escrow agreement signed in 2019. The review checks which events actually release the material and whether what is deposited would be usable if they occurred.
- 06Assess United States trade mark infringement riskA UK consumer brand selling into the United States has received a cease and desist letter alleging trade mark infringement. The note assesses the claim on the documents supplied and says clearly how the research was sourced.
